Can we solve this equation
$$\left(1+\frac{x}{b}\right)e^{-x/b}=z$$
We have to determine value of $x$ in term of $z$.
Problem occur while calculating the following integral.
$$\frac{a}{b^{2}}\int_{0}^{\infty}(1-(1+\frac{x}{b})e^{-\frac{x}{b}})^{a-1}x^{r+1}e^{-\frac{x}{b}}dx $$ and subtituting $$(1+\frac{x}{b})e^{-\frac{x}{b}}=z$$
As Famous Blue Raincoat commented, you can rewrite $$\left(1+\frac{x}{b}\right)e^{-x/b}=e\left(1+\frac{x}{b}\right)e^{-(1+x/b)}$$ and setting $y=-(1+\frac{x}{b})$, the equation write $$y e^{y}=-\frac{z}{e}$$ the solution of which being given by Lambert function $$y=W\left(-\frac{z}{e}\right)$$ and, back to $x$, $$x=-b \left(1+W\left(-\frac{z}{e}\right)\right)$$
In a more general manner, any equation which can be written as $$A+B x+C \log(D+Ex)=0$$ has solutions which can expressed in terms of Lambert function.
However, may I confess that I do not see how to compute the integral ?
